This event will be our 18th festival! It’s an informal 3-day event held at Catalina State Park on the north side of Tucson. Accommodations will be camping primarily, although there are some hotels relatively close by. The festival operates entirely by donation, however the park requires a small camping fee. Plenty of time to juggle, hike, juggle, eat, and juggle some more. If you plan on attending it would help us greatly if you email info@tucsonjuggling.org with an idea of how many people will be here and your estimated arrival and departure dates (from the Catalina State Park campsite).

INIS OÍRR JUGGLING CONVENTION is a weekend of juggling, workshops, games, and a show - in Irish.
Attendees are encouraged to use their cúpla focal while practising their juggling. Seasoned professionals, enthusiasts, amateurs, and those looking to give juggling a go are encouraged to attend. The aim is to host a juggling convention though Irish. Hall TBC!
There will be beginners' Juggling and Irish workshops Friday and Saturday, and games for all on Sunday. There will be a juggling gala on Inis Oírr Saturday the 29th of August.

This is a space to practice juggling and the Irish language, even if you don't have much of either. If you are thinking about it, join us!

INFORMATION:
There is a useful mobile app "Inis Oírr Beo": https://www.inisoirrbeo.com/en
There is information on accommodation, food, places of interest, and things to do. The app is available in Irish and English.
On the island there is a campsite, hotels, and B&B. There is one small shop (Warning: there won't be enough hummus!), restaurants, bikes for hire, and boats to the other islands (Doolin ferries).

Kunterbunt Juggling Convention

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 05:33:18 +0000

Many people have felt unsafe at juggling conventions, and we believe all jugglers should feel welcome and supported in this community. This is our attempt to create a space for people to come to be themselves. We hope to create strong bonds and safety, and give people the confidence and reassurance that they have community in the greater juggling world. Turning a blind eye to the wrong doings of people (unfortunately mostly cis men) only creates more disconnect. We aknowledge the reality of many Flinta* people’s lived experience and we want to help. And of course, we want to have fun in a Flinta* only setting.
We hope to see you there ❤️‍🔥

(Flinta for Women, Lesbian, Intersex, Non binary, Transgender, Agender)

During this convention will be an openstage, karaokes, lots of workshop for beginners to advanced, talks, and the good vibe of a safe space convention.

Goirle Juggling Festival 2027

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 02:47:36 +0000

Dear jugglers,

We now organised the Goirle Juggling Festival three times, and it was a huge success! That’s why we’re doing it again, this time from January 22nd to 24th, 2027. Mark your calendars!

At which festival can you find a gym that’s open 24 hours a day, all-day breakfast and lunch, beds, healthy catered meals, and a giant game room with cozy couches?! Exactly, at the GJF!

The location is ActiveStay in Goirle (https://activestay.nl/), which has several dormitories with bunk beds, a 400 m² hall, a large relaxation area right next to the hall for games (with a ping pong table and foosball table!!!), and a dining room with a kitchen where we can prepare our own breakfast and lunch. There are plenty of judo mats to create an acrobatics area, and of course, there’s all the space you need for juggling. Unfortunately, unicycling and aerial work aren’t possible in the hall.

Registration for the fourth edition of the GJF will open in september.

Any further questions can be sent to gjf@stichtingnjf.nl

We hope to see many of you in Goirle in February!

Cheers,
Piet and Mees
